This pattern is from my Great Grandma. It was a dress she had made in the 1950’s!
I liked this dress so I made it for Easter. I found the material off the sale rack and Daddy we said we could buy it. It is the first time I ever picked out everything myself.
The hardest part was doing the hem, because it was like ten million yards! It felt like that because it is a circle skirt plus an insert because it is a wrap around. The original dress pattern is just below the knees, but I wanted it longer, so we added some length to it.
Instead of buttons on the front, we put grommets and a tie. It fits me perfectly right now, but we wanted it to fit longer. Momma said, “a lot longer!”
Megan wanted to match me. So we found a pattern and it was the wrong way around. So we reversed it and altered it some.
I want to make another dress like this one.
